Week 33 2025

 Hello!

My goodness it's hot out there...

The Connection

 

So, stay cool, keep those windows and shutters closed against the heat and don't try getting up to too much in the afternoons.  The heat plays havoc with clay, it dries almost in front of my eyes.

Whatever you do this week, in the Gironde and Dordogne regions, have fun and enjoy yourselves.  There's a bank holiday on Friday - L'Assomption.  So there's a possibility that businesses may 'Faire le Pont' (that's if any of them are actually open...) 

Best wishes,

Helen

And finally...

There have been plenty of families coming to the studio during the holidays, I love how they start with the same project, but they are all unique creations.

Holiday pottery workshops are available for one more week - then the last week of August, I'll be on holiday. Contact me if you'd like to book a session. 📞0630898536 

Week 32 2025

 Hello!

Oh my goodness, I can't believe that we're into August and I haven't mentioned the Battle of Castillon.  The biggest show in southwest France. 

So, it's not too late, there are still a couple of weekends to go.  It's a fabulous evening of entertainment, I'm always amazed how Castillon puts together such a extraordinary event, and over 5 weekends. (you never know, you might be there on the night that England wins 😃😄😉)

Find out all about it here https://www.batailledecastillon.com/ 

Whatever you do this week in the Gironde and Dordogne regions, have a great time. 

Best wishes,
